Description
In this course students are introduced to representation and visualisation techniques by combining industry standard Adobe Suite and Processing software applications. The lecture series covers topics such as principles and elements of design, colour, pixels, vector graphics, typography, layout, format and production, environmental and experiential graphic design, infographics and information design, symbols, visual literacy, interactivity, design context, cartography and map design.
CODE1161 will offer students the necessary skills to represent and present design concepts and research. On successful completion of the course students will have developed a foundational knowledge of digital visualization techniques within the computational design discipline. This course is conducted via a lecture series, face-to-face tutorials, online software tutorials, design project briefs and an online quiz. Tutorial time is for presenting project submission requirements, project critique/feedback and assistance with any issues you have completing the online tutorials.
Each week during the session you are required to complete a set of online tutorials prior to the lecture. This course consists of 3 major assessments: Communicating Data, Visualising Data, Contextualising Data. See 6. In Week 13 you will have a computer generated multiple-choice test based on the Lecture Series.
